My analyses, and the written-up cases I presented in the impact piece are necessarily abridged. there’s so much more I could’ve said about the experiences of these two guys.

Both stories can be obtained in full, if you are interested in reading more. As with all good hermeneutic research – this is the spirit of the endeavour – that the stories should be available for all to interpret. So, feel free to read them and take from them what you will. Do you agree with my analysis? What else should social researchers be focusing on when it comes to male eating disorders? What else from these 2 stories held meaning and resonance for you?
